Audit of USAID/Afghanistan’s Transition Plans.

Country: AfghanistanFiscal Year: 2012Agency: USAIDAudit Report Available: NoDescription: The Government of Afghanistan depends on international forces to provide security and other basic services to its citizens. However, fiscal pressures in the United States and other NATO countries have helped focus attention on the need for the Government of Afghanistan to assume responsibility for provision of basic services within the next 3 years. NATO plans to transfer lead security responsibility for all provinces to the Government of Afghanistan by the end of 2014, when assistance levels are expected to fall significantly.
This audit will determine whether USAID/Afghanistan (1) has developed measurable performance targets to be achieved by USAID programs by 2014, (2) is progressing adequately towards those targets, and (3) has assessed the capability of the Government of Afghanistan to sustain program accomplishments after 2014.
